Basic Temp Terms

Mean Temperature Average temperature for given amount of time. Daily Mean Temp- average 24 hour temp Monthly Mean Temp- average of the monthly daily means. Annual Mean Temp- average of the 12 monthly means.

Temperature Range Range=Change. Temperature Range- the difference (or change) in temperature for a given amount of time. Daily Range- difference from high to low daily temps. Annual Range- difference in warmest monthly mean temp and coldest.

Isotherm Iso= same therm- temparature A line on a weather map connecting areas of equal temperature.

Temperature Gradient Amount of temperature change per unit of distance. Usually used by meteorologists vertically (up! Through the atmosphere) and NOT horizontally. Layers of the atmo
